From East and West, North and South, these carols are simple, clear and moving, whether played on an exotic North American flute, or in the voice of a French child invoking 'Papa Noel'. And why not have the rhythms of the West Indies rub shoulders with a South American harp? The message is the same: the timeless joy of Christmas.
